Alignment issues, almost seems like it can’t be fixed.
To elaborate more:
On October 19 I installed coilovers. Alignment was fine for a while and then decided to install the strut bar that came with the coilovers, did alignment again and the car drove pretty good.
About two weeks after that, I replace my tires and from what I recall the issue started about that time, tho I don’t remember if it was before or after the tires.
Any way, since about that week, I had a weird noise coming from the front, followed by a crooked steering wheel to the right (the noise is also sounding like it comes from the right) at first, my mechanic thought it was the coilovers and he readjusted it.
The noise did not go away but the car did drove better.
We moved to the control arm bushings and replaced them with Powerflex’s bushings with camber & caster adjusts.
After the installation, I fixed the crooked steering wheel but the car started pulling to the right. (I installed the bushings at an alignment shop and did an alignment after the installation.)
The guy at the alignment shop tried his best to fix it but he didn’t seem to find a problem.
I went to a second alignment shop and they didn’t fix it either, they asked me to rotate the tires and come back, and so was done.
He aligned the car again but it still pulled to the right.
He aligned it - again, but the steering wheel was crooked like it did before.
I decided to ignore the fact that I paid to this shop and they never solved the problem.
I went to a third alignment shop - and he fixed the car pulling to the right by increasing the caster on the right from 6.45 degrees to 7.13, while on the left it was 6.35
The car drove fine afterwards and I went to a track day. The caster on the right feels too much for me comparing to the left, every time I needed to take a corner to the left it felt sooooo much different from the right.
I really have no idea what to do.
